I am crucified with Christ; nevertheless I live: yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God,who loved me and gave himself for me. Galatians 2:20

There is death in self in every great work for God.

Christ demonstratively and lavishly exhibited

His ultimate love for us by His co-crucifixion.

He sacrificially and lovingly died for us.

We died with Him.

And because of His death

We are a glorious new creation within

Being changed from glory to glory,

Yet free to choose

Moment by moment

Old nature ,

New Nature,

Earthly Kingdom,

Christ’s Kingdom,

Maturity,

Immaturity,

Christ,

Self.

Every moment I must make an eternal decision

Between love of self,

Or love of Jesus Christ.

May our hearts not settle for the exaltation of a wayward and wavering world

But understand we already have the ultimate gift of acceptance, security, & worthiness

Be ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. I Peter 2:9
